Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Arabic and Amharic are categorized under the Afroasiatic language family. This means that Arabic and Hebrew languages derive from the same language with Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Amharic and Omotic languages of Afro-Asiatic language family in North Africa. Today, we see that the most of Afroasiatic people are of E1b1b haplogroup (especially the lineages of V12, V32, M81). And we see a great variety of E1b lineages among both Semitic and Afroasiatic people whereas only FGC11 lineage of J1 is present among Afroasiatic Semitic people. And it is also impossible to see J1 haplogroup among several Afroasiatic people such as Berberis etc. According to the theory, Afroasiatic languages spread to Asia via E1b haplogroup, not J1 haplogroup. It is historically known that a ruling elite class of Afro-Asiatic people (Akkadians, Assyrians etc) also invaded the north of Mesopotamia and brought their Afroasiatic languages to the central and northern parts of Mesopotamia during the period of Akkadians and Babylonians. Elite dominance model of E1b1 might be supposed for Akkadians, Assyrians and Babylonians. In this sense, it might be theorized that Sumerian was the main language of the ancient Mesopotamians before Afroasiatic E1b overwhelmed Mesopotamia (elite dominance model).
Quite controversial and IMO an unacademic site (with no offense to the owner), but still worthy of looking at this model especially since E1b1b is associated with AfroAsiatic language dispersal. Tell me about your thoughts please. Thanks!
